Also, if you have hunted here lots, you know well what is right, so where is the info coming from. No where in the guide does it say what you are saying, so it is somewhere, where
Just for an example, where does it state you can use a bow in any rifle season, it is written in some regs somewhere
where!

"Rifle Only" season is the term they use in the guide for dress requirements

I see archery, but not archery only season. Can I use a rifle?
I know what you are saying, and you are a sask hunter so you're most likely right, but where is this info???

Straight from the guide. It says nothing of bowhunters, and what's more, specifically says
"hunt big game with a rifle" and then goes on to say in a "rifle only season" which we have concluded may or may not exist. This is the only mention of hunter color requiremnts in the guide

I thought so. The Ontario regs are pretty clean cut.
The Newfoundland regs are a ##### for interpretation on a few things, and I honestly believe, not being a ####head, that this rule in the sask guide does not, as it is here in the guide, state anything about bow hunters very clearly
Since you won't accept any information as fact from anyone but the Saskatchewan DNR,why not call them and and complain about the way that the guide is written.Better yet,go hunting in the rifle season with a bow while you are dressed in camo,find a CO,get charged,and fight the charges in court based on the wording in the hunting guide.See if the judge is impressed with your argument..

And this what I figured would come out when you're shown something.
If you are right, show me... I didn't say you're wroong...
You did go on record saying you are a sask hunter, and have been for a long time, and then went on to say there is no "rifle only" season, yet the guide directly refers to a "rifle only" season....
All I asked for was where did you get the regs... and you don't know.
What I posted was
You posted
Your quote was not from the listing of seasons in the hunting guide that I referred to,it was from another section altogether.
The list of seasons for each zone is from page 13 to page 17 of the hunting guide.No where in that list of seasons is a "rifle only" season.
As I previously posted,you are not willing to accept anyone else's interpretation of the law,so call the DNR,and then complain here when you don't like their interpretation.Better yet,go to the Saskatchewan wildlife act which is the real set of regulations,and have the DNR explain them for you.Then complain some more.It is now quite obvious that you just started this thread to instigate an argument,so I will leave you to argue with anyone else that wishes to oblige you.As for me,I am done with this thread.

So you are saying that there is no "rifle only" season, you admit that the hunting guide references a "rifle only" season, which you say does not exist, and the guide uses this "rifle only" season which does not exist, to addres hunter dress requirements,...
and you think that is easy to follow...interpret

So as the thread shows, I didn't say you were wrong, simply wanted to know where you got the information, ... apparently your long term hunting in sask, as you put it, didn't enable you to provide the info, so i did find it myself.
You are absolutely right, for muzzleloader, archery and shotgun you may wear camo, but if there is an open rifle season, you must wear blaze.
Better trusting the official regs, rather than second hand info on a reg that is admittedly poorly stated in the guide.
Hunting clothing
21(1) Every person hunting big game and every person accompanying or guiding
him shall wear:
(a) above the waist, an outer suit of clothing coloured scarlet, bright yellow,
blaze orange, white or any combination of those colours; and
(b) a cap or toque coloured scarlet, bright yellow, blaze orange or any
combination of those colours.
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), a person hunting big game for which there is
an open archery, muzzle-loading firearm or shotgun season established pursuant
to The Open Seasons Game Regulations may wear camouflage or other clothing.
(3) Notwithstanding subsection (2), a person hunting mule deer pursuant to an
archery mule deer licence is subject to clause 21(1)(a) during any period that the
archery mule deer season runs concurrent with the special mule deer rifle season.
